Suarez... again? People, give it a break!

I have been a really bad supporter this year. When LFC started weak and lost games and end up in second part of the chart, I focused on other things that made me happy.. but second half of the year looked so much more promising- and my favorite player is up and running and even might get the title of the tops scorer of the league... But today I was motivated to write not because of that but due to the news that caught my attention of my dear Lusitio being involved in another yet scandal... which is not even a scandal but just put unnecessary pressure on my boy. So apparently, Suarez was in Uruguay and in the interview to local media he said he was open to Champion League Football. Reaction? English Media went nuts. Things are said about him, and how ungrateful he is and how he gets paid a lot and how when he signed the contract no one was promised Champion League football. As I listen to it, I am worried that someone will accidentally drop something like "why does not he go back to Uruguay where he belongs" or " that's what happens when we choose international players over English ones". Seriously, when will people drop this nationalistic and childish accusations. I admire Suarez, I want him to stay with reds, and I do know that it will be just fair if he gives another year to see if REDS can make it happen. But if he chooses to leave, I will understand.. Life goes by fast. Life of an athlete even faster than that. You never know what happens next, you don't know if you are going to have another season and if you want to make the best out of your career and in football it's Champions League is big part of it- then who are the judges? My sister always reminds me that this is a team we worship or club we live up to but for Suarez, Rooney, Persie it is a job- the way they know how to make money and go down in history books. So before we pass judgements and get all worked up about loyalty and club and history- we should stop and think.... Reds are reds not because of one player but the history of the club- with or with him, if Liverpool can make it- they will make it. And Suarez is not Suarez because of Liverpool, but because he is a remarkable athlete and can make a difference in any team. Whatever the decision is, the true fans of Reds will still proudly sing YNWA and true supporters of Luis will follow him to a new club. End of story!
